The small filefish, Rudarius ercodes, generally spawning from mid May to early October in the natural habitat, was exposed to various photoperiod and temperature regimes. These environmental effects on the gonad activity, regression and recrudescence were experimentally investigated based on the mechanism of reproductive cycle. Spawning season was initiated in the early spring with the gonad activated by long photoperiod(13L) and stimulated by compensatory temperature rising. Even when the gonad activated readily at the above critical daylength (12L to 13L)was kept back at the below if, it went on maturing. At the end of spawning period (mid September), since the shortening of daylength (12L) resulted in the gonad regression regardless of temperature, the short daylength might be related to the termination of spawning in situ. When the regressive gonad at the post spawning period was treated by the above 13L: $20^{\circ}C$ condition, it could recrudesce and bring forth even spawning. From this fact, the feasible control of annual reproductive cycle of small filefish was recognized. But even in the long daylength, the temperature above $28^{\circ}C$ was preventive of gonad maturation.

In utilization of small size red muscled fishes like mackerel, sardine, and filefish, mechanical dressing is usually required. The removal of dark muscle is also necessary to improve qualify of the product, which could hardly be done by mechanical process. As a method of separating dark muscle, specific gravity method using sugar solution was investigated in this study. And the effects of the level of specific gravity, the size and density of meat particles, and stability of meat particle float on the separation of dark muscle were discussed. From the results, effective specific gravity, in case of sucrose solution, ranged 1.067 to 1.072 for mackerel, 1.062 to 1.070 for sardine, and 1.072 to 1.077 for filefish, respectively. The maximum separation of more than $90\%$ was obtained at specific gravity of 1.075, 1.070, and 1.075 in cases of mackerel, sardine and filefish, respectively. The size of meat particles which were ground with 0.2cm orifice plate was adequate to yield $90\%$ separation or above. The meat particle float in the glucose solution began to precipitate within 5 minutes after separation while 25 minutes in case of sucrose solution. Lipids were also fairly removed by the dark muscle separation process.

Plasteins were synthesized from a peptic filefish protein hydrolysate by papain, $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ and protease(from Streptomyces griceus) under the optimum conditions of previous paper. L-glutamic acid diethylester and L-leucine ethylester were incorporated into plastein during the plastein reaction by papain. The structural changes of freeze-dried filefish meat, peptic hydrolysate, FPC and plasteins were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM). The functional properties of plasteins also were measured. The solubility of plasteins was higher than that of FPC and the Glu-plastein had $95\%$ solubility in the range of pH 3-10. The dispersibility of Glu-plastein and protease plastein was similar to that of egg albumin, but those of the other plasteins were lower. The water holding capacity of plasteins was lower than that of egg albumin and C. Lipid absorption of Leu-plastein was tile highest, holding 1.80 ml/g, and that of the other plasteins was similar to that of egg albumin. The emulsifying activity of Leu-plastein was the highest, holding $61.2\%$, and that of Glu-plastein was the lowest, holding $50.7\%$. The emulsifying stability of plasteins was similar to that of the emulsifying activity. The emulsifying capacity of Leu-plastein was 384 ml/g(the highest), but that of Glu-plastein and $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ plastein was 248 ml/g(the lowest). The Leu-plastein shelved the highest foaming capacity, $373\%$. The foaming capacity of other plasteins was higher than that of egg albumin. The foaming stability of plasteins was superior to that of egg albumin. The viscosity of plasteins was lower than that of egg albumin. The microstructure of $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ plastein by SEM wassimilar to that of papain plastein, but other plasteins showed differences in their microstructure. The microstructure of Glu-plastein had a smooth shape.

This study investigated the antibacterial effects of BioZone atmospheric plasma (AP) against Bacillus cereus (F4810/72) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) as the major foodborne bacteria on the surface of dried filefish (Stephanolepis cirrhifer) fillets. The fillets were experimentally contaminated with 7-8 log CFU/mL of B. cereus or S. aureus using a spot inoculation method. Bacterial counts were measured by standard plate method on tryptic soy agar, and were significantly reduced with the increase in the treatment time (1, 3, 5 or 20 min) of AP on the fillets (p < 0.05). The reductions of the pathogens by AP treatment ranged from 0.9 to 2.93 logCFU/g for B. cereus and from 1.04 to 2.55 logCFU/g for S. aureus. A reduction of >1-logCFU/g for B. cereus and S. aureus was observed on the fillets treated with AP for >3 min. The differences in color on the Hunter scale (L=light vs. dark, a=red vs. green, b=yellow vs. blue) of the fillets were not significantly different between the nontreated (control) and AP-treated fillets (p>0.05). This study suggested that 3 min of AP could be effective in reducing >90% of the bacteria without causing any concomitant changes in the color of the fillets.

The authors carried out an experiment to find out the response of filefish, Navodon modestus (Gunther), to the colored nets. The experimental tank of dimensions 360L$\times$50W$\times$55H cm was set up in a dark room. Six longitudinal sections, each being 60cm intervals, are marked in the tank to observe locations of the fishes. The depth of water in the tank was 50 cm. Two light bulbs of 30 W, placed at the both ends of the tank, projected the light horizontally into the tank. Two different colored nets selected from seven colors(white, black, gray, red, green, blue, and yellow) were placed 60 cm distance from each side of the tank. The fishes were acclimatized in the dark for 60 minutes before they were employed in the experiment. After the light was turned on, the number of fish in each section of the tank was counted for an hour in every 2 minutes into interval, the mean value of fishes in each section was used as the distribution rate of the fish. The order of colors disliked by fishes was found to be white, red, green, black, blue, yellow and gray. The distribution rate of fish in front of colored net shows a decreasing tendency as the lapse of illumination time increases.

Volatile compounds were collected by simultaneous distillation extraction and carbon dioxide method, and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The neutral fraction obtained from the whole steam volatile concentrate 55 kinds of components, phenolic fraction had 4 kinds of components, basic fraction had 13 kinds of components and 10 kinds of components were in acidic fraction. Alcohols, propanols, butanols, octanols, dodecanols etc. and aldehydes, pentanals, hexanal, 2-methyl-1-propanal, heptenal etc. were highly increased after boiled and roasted. And these compounds were contributed to formation of filefish flavor. The molecular ion peak of phenolic fraction was generally appeared in the range 100 to about 160. From the basic fraction, 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-di-methylpyrazine and 2-methylpyridine were identified. The contents of basic compounds and furans obtained from the neutral fraction were increased at the higher heating temperature. The flavor of acidic fraction was influenced by the low molecular as isovaleric and valeric acid.

The author carried out an experiment to find out the response of filefish, Navodon modestus(Gunther) to the colored lights. The experimental tank($360L{\times}50W{\times}55Hcm$) was set up in a dark room. Six longitudinal sections with 60 cm intervals are marked in the tank to observe the location of the fish. Water depth in the tank was kept 50 cm level. Light bulbs of 20W at the both ends of the tank projected the light horizontally into the tank. Two different colored filters were selected from four colors of red, blue, yellow, and white, and they were placed in front of the light bulbs to make different colors of light. Light intensity were controlled by use of auxiliary filters intercepted between the bulb and the filter. The fishes were acclimatized in the dark for 50 minutes before thor were employed in the experiment. Upon turning on the light, the number of fish in each section was counted 40 times in 30 second intervals, and the mean of the number of fish in each section was given as the gathering rate of the fish. The colors favourited by the fish was found in the order of blue, white, yellow and red. The gathering rate of fish on illumination period was not constant but varied randomly. The difference of the gathering rates on two different colors of light was rather in significant, however the difference was larger in the day time than in the night time.

Constant rate period, falling rate period and diffusion coefficient using filefish fillet as sample during drying in hot air drier were determined under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and air velocity. Drying rate curve consisted of a short period of constant rate and two stages of falling rate period. When 1 to 3m/see of air velocities were applied, diffusion coefficients were in the range of 1.9130 to $2.6187\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;\textrm{cm}^2/sec$ at $50^{\circ}C$. 2.4806 to $3.5342\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;\textrm{cm}^2/sec$ at $60^{\circ}C$ and 4.3405 to $5.3042\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;\textrm{cm}^2/sec$ at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. Available lysine content was decreased by 15%. 16% and 20% in the fillet dried at $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively.

A study on the qualify changes of fish meat during drying and storage has been carried out with filefish meat. Filefish meat was dried in a forced air dryer at 40 and $55\%$ for 20 hours with an air velocity of 0.4 m/sec under different conditions of relative air humidities in the range of 10 to $50\%$. The dried fish meat was stored at $30^{\circ}C$ in chambers with constant relative humidities controlled by the use of conditioned air stream passing through the saturated salt solutions. The qualify of filefish meat was evaluated with the brown color densities developed by lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction. Changes of viable cell count during drying and storage were also discussed. The predominant reaction for the brown color developed during the study period was the lipid oxidation. The lipid oxidation rate during drying at constant temperature was appreciably affected by water activities at the drying surfaces of filefish meat during the falling drying rate period. The lipid oxidation rate was the slowest under the condition of the relative air humidity of around $30\%$. In samples stored at water activity of 0.33, the lipid oxidation rate was retarded remarkably in comparison with the samples with lower or higher water activities. The addition of $1\%$ table salt, $1.5\%$ D-sorbitol and $6\%$ sucrose slightly lowered the water activity with the slowest lipid oxidation rate. Such additives resulted the increase of the water soluble brown color densities, which seemed due to the increase of mobility of the water soluble substances by the result of the increase of equilibrium water content. Microflora of the samples immediately after drying consisted of ca. $30\%$ of coccus types, ca. $65\%$ of rod types and ca. $5\%$ of molds and yeasts. During the storage of the samples with a water activity of 0.76, the ratio of the coccus types to the total microflora was increased remarkably while that of the Gram negative non-spore rod types was decreased. The ratios of the Gram positive rod types, molds and yeasts during the storage were nearly constant.
